To be strictly scientific, it's about the same as lighting 110 of those 100W bulbs in the tranny. 
Now try to dissipate that 
By the way, Ken, the unit for power is Btu/hr, not Btu. Somehow, all these A/C units just dropped the "/hr" part on their labels. Very peculiar.

Dear Copper,
Thank you for correcting my comic book acquired engineering skills. You are completely right. This is a great site with really smart people contributing. It is amazing how much heat an unlocked tc makes in an aero. When mine unlocks under load at 60 mph climbing a hill, my tach jumps 500 rpm. Under the same situation, my acura with a less torquey motor only moves a needle width on the tach.
Could one calculate tc losses accurately from that rpm change. I gotta believe my 15 % estimate is low.
Thanks again for adding dimension to my dimensionless btu.
